I think I've seen Andy's toes taped before. I don't lke to tempt fate by mentioning it really, but when he turned his ankle playing the German Berrer at the French a couple of years back, he was having treatment and I'm sure his toes were taped then. It could very well be a precautionary thing.

In the heat the feet are bound to take some stick, but that applies to all the players. The courts must get wickedly hot.

In general with the heat, firstly I'm glad Andy spent the time in Miami to prepare. Also, I'm led to believe that the heat in Australia is dry, not the oppressive humid heat that the players experience in New York. Still, 40 degree plus is still bloomin' hot!

I lived in Oz for 6 yrs.....the further north you go the more humid....the further south you go the drier the heat. Adelaide and Melbourne is essentially dry heat.....Sydney sometimes dry sometimes humid....Brisbane and further north Always humid.
